UC3844BD1R2G

onsemi · AC-DC Controllers and Regulators · SOIC-8-150mil

UC3844BD1R2G from onsemi, in a SOIC-8-150mil. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 Compensation output Error-amplifier output / loop compensation node. Available for external loop-compensation networks connected to the Voltage Feedback pin. Also drives the internal current-sense comparator through a 2 V level shift and 1/3 divider.
2 Voltage Feedback input Inverting input of the error amplifier. Normally connected to the switching-power-supply output through a resistor divider; internally referenced to 2.5 V. Input bias current typically -0.1 uA.
3 Current Sense input Current-sense comparator input. A voltage proportional to primary switch current (via a ground-referenced sense resistor) is applied here. Trips PWM latch when it reaches 1.0 V (typ) scaled from the compensation pin; input range -0.3 to +5.5 V.
4 RT/CT passive Oscillator timing pin. An external resistor to Vref and capacitor to GND set the oscillator frequency (fOSC ~ 1.72/(RT*CT) for RT > 5 k) and output deadtime. Guaranteed to 250 kHz; usable to 500 kHz output switching frequency.
5 GND power_in Device ground (control and power ground shared in the 8-pin package). Return for all internal circuitry and the totem-pole output stage.
6 Output output High-current totem-pole output for driving a power MOSFET gate directly. Rated for 1.0 A source/sink peak; typical rise/fall time 50 ns with 1 nF load. Duty cycle limited to 50% max (UC3844B/UC2844B).
7 VCC power_in Positive supply for control logic and output driver. UVLO on/off thresholds 16 V / 10 V (UC3844B). Absolute maximum 36 V; internal zener clamp at ~36 V (IZ up to 25 mA). Startup current ~0.5 mA, operating ~17 mA.
8 Vref power_out 5.0 V trimmed reference output (+/-1% at 25 C). Sources up to 20 mA for external circuitry and the oscillator timing resistor; short-circuit current typically -85 mA.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
uc3844bd1r2g.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
uc3844bd1r2g-etched.step 2.7 MB You want the part with UC3844BD1R2G already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 665 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
